On most recorders the MPX filter is automatically applied with the Dolby.

AM tuner. Background noise was higher than average.

Amplifier peformance. The power output per channel at the clipping level with both chaannels driven 20 to 20,000 Hz into 8 ohms measured 27 watts RMS. The frequency response at 27 watts/8 ohms measured +0 dB -3 dB from 20 to 20,000 Hz at a distortion no higher than 0,06% Total Harmonic Distortion at any frequency. The subsonic filter produced 2,5 dB attenuation at 20 Hz. The tone control range measured =11/-12 dB at 50 Hz ; ±8 dB at 10,000 Hz. The magnetic input hum and noise was -69 dB; stero separation was into the noise level.

Meters

The LED output power indicators, because of the broad range between values, indicate approximate power. They serve as a reference rather than as precise value. Their frequency response is essentially "flat". When used as tuning meters the right indicator functions as light-bar )or bar-graph) signal strength meter, while the center LED in the left indicator serves to indicate proper tuning-it snaps on when an FM station is tuned properly; essentially, the LED substitutes for a center-channel tuning meter.

Boston A200 loudspeakers

The A200 is a high performance three-way loudspeaker system designed for optimum reproduction of music under actual home listening condition. Its design takes particular advantage of recent research about the colorations which can be caused by off-axis sound radiation when it reflects off parts of the speaker, is diffracted at cabinet edges, and is strongly reflected off floor and wall surfaces near the speaker.

These reflections have been controlled in the A200 by the shape of the cabinet and careful attention to the placement of the drivers, yielding a speaker system which exhibits a remarkably uniform and accurate tonal balance, exceptionally good stereo imaging, and relatively high efficiency.

The 10" woofer is mounted near the floor and the shallow cabinet permits convenient placement near a wall behind it. Consequently the woofer behaves acoustically as if it were flush-mounted at the floor-wall intersection, radiating uniformly into the 90-degree solid angle formed by that intersection with all reflections remaining in-phase with the woofer's direct output, preserving its smooth response and raising its efficiency.

The 4-1/2" midrange and 1" soft dome tweeter are positioned near  ear level for realistic musical imaging. They are flush-mounted in an unusually large and smooth front-panel area, so that the nearest cabinet edge or reflecting object is more than a half-wavelength away at any frequency in their operating range.  Consequently the drivers radiate essentially a hemispheric wave front, and the control of early reflections permits their smooth response to be heard to full advantage.

The infinite plane enclosure

The A200's enclosure design isn't a cosmetic "sales feature". It is calculated specifically to restrict the amount of sound than can reach the rear wall and floor, especially at the crucial midrange frequencies that determine a speaker's tonal character and imaging capability.

The A200's unusually large and smooth front panel makes the midrange and high frequency drivers behave as if they are mounted into an infinitely large plane extending beyond the baffle. As a result, they acoustically "see" only the hemispheric space in front of the cabinet, eliminating the early reflections that can color their sound and blur the stereo imaging.

Dealing with bass frequencies and their very long wavelengths required a different solution. By mounting the woofer close to the floor, floor reflections remain in phase, reinforcing the woofer's output and preserving its smooth response.

Another benefit of the A200's tall, slim cabinet is the opportunity to mount the midrange and tweeter near ear level to enhance the sonic perspective. Mid and high frequency information emanates at the proper height in space, eliminating the "highs-at-knee-level" phenomenon of typical cabinet shapes.

Bose Model 601 loudspeakers

A New Direct/Reflecting Speaker of Outstanding performance, High Efficiency, Moderate Cost and Exceptional Versatility

The Model 601 is a totally new Direct/Reflecting loudspeaker fromBose. It employs a unique arrangement of six drivers in each enclosure (four tweeter, two woofers) to achieve a level of tonal accuracy and spatial realism comparable only to the world renownedBose 901 Series III.

These peformance qualities , along with high efficiency, moderate cost, and great versatility of speaker placement in practically any listening environment, make the Model 601 a loudspeaker of exceptional value.

The result is an open, spacious sound and feeling of realism which can not be achieved by conventional speakers with front mounted drivers beaming directly at the listener. Such conventional designs are aimed almost exclusively at producing accurate frequency response, while largely ignoring the spatial qualities so critical to the impact of a live performance. In the Model 601, these important spatial qualities are accurately reproduced through the careful positioning and orientation of all six drivers in each speaker enclosure.

The Concept Behind Bose Direct/Reflecting Speakers

Like the 901 Series III 9the most advanced development of Bose design concepts and state-of-the-art. Manufacturing techniques), the Model 601 is a Direct/Reflecting speaker system . It's designed to reflect the greater part of its sound output off the back and side walls of the room, surrounding the listener with the same kind of balance of reflected and direct sound experienced in a live performance.

The tweeters

Three tweters in each enclosure provide reflected sound, creating a feeling of spaciousness, while one tweeter radiates the smaller proportion of direct sound needed for a strong center image and crisp, sharply defined details.

Two of the tweeters are also positioned to radiate sound upward through the acoustically transparent top grille, thus avoiding interference from furniture in the room.

The Woofers

There are two 8-inch woofers in each Model 601 enclosure, one aimed forward and one angled upward, to contribute an important component of reflected sound. The use of two smaller woofers provides a cone area equal to that of a single much larger driver, while offering importantperformance benefits at low and middle frequencies.

Each high-output woofer is capable of better dispersion and smoother midrange performance than a larger woofer, while they work together to provide bass response of exceptional power and clarity.

Accuracy of Tonal balance

With all four tweeters covering the same upper frequency range and the two woofers covering the same lower range, small response irregularities of individual drivers are averaged and smoothed in a way that can not be duplicated using single drivers.

Efficiency

The Model 601 is also a highly efficient speaker that can deliver superior reproduction of all kinds of music using an amplifier or receiver having as little as 20 watts of power per channel

Technical Information

Spatial Charateristics

Dual CS-510 turntable

The new Dual model 510 meets the need of that special breed of audiophile who prefers to handle the tonearm himself. At the same time, the 510 tonearm provides important automatic features that we believe even the most sure-handed music lover will appreciate.

When the tonearm is raised from its resting post and moved toward the record, there's no need to guess when it is precisely over the lead-in groove; a mechanical sensor lets you know for both 12" and 7" records. The tonearm then will not descend until the cue-control lever is actuated. You don't even have to remember to set the cue-control in the up position (it automatically resets at the end of play)

All this is achieved by the 510's unique indexing indicator which is interlocked with the cue-control. However, if you don't want this help, you can simply switch the system off.

There are two other touches of automation. Moving the tonearm toward the record turns on the drive system. At the end of play, the tonearm lifts and the motor shuts off.

In all other respects, the 510 is essentially the same as other full-sized Dual models.

The tonearm is mounted in a newly designed four-point gimbal suspension. It is vernier-adjustable for precise balance; tracking pressure is calibrated in tenths of a gram for use with the most advanced cartridges; anti-skating is separately calibrated for conical, elliptical and CD-4 styli

The dynamically-balanced cast platter is linked to an 8-pole synchronous motor through a precision-ground belt. Pitch is variable over a 6% range (a semitone) and can be conveniently set to exact speed by means of a built-in illuminated strobe, read directly off the rim of the platter.

Features of Dual 510:

Tonearm pivots in both axes within four-point gimbal

The 510 tonearm pivots horizontally and vertically an identical sets of low-friction needle-point bearings. Each gimbal is hand-assembled, and special gauges assure that each will conform to Dual's stringent specificaations. For example, vertica; friction must measure no more than seven thousandths of a gram or that gimbal will not pass quality control

Stylus pressure applied around pivot maintans dynamic tonearm balance

A long flat spring coiled around the pivot applies constant stylus pressure throughout play. Only a small portion of the spring's length is used, thus maintaining accurate pressure from 0,25 gram up. Tonearm balance is maintained throughout play, and stylus pressure remains perpendicular to the record even if the turntable is tilted.

8-pole synchronous motor, precision-ground belt drive and dynamically-balanced platter.

The 510 belt-drive system features a specially developed 8-pole synchronous motor that achieves high starting torque and exceptionally smooth, vibration-free rotation.

The precision-ground belt serves three functions with ingenious simplicity; it acts as the speed reduction system; rotates the platter; and isolates it  from any residual motor vibration.

The full-size, 2-inch platter is a one-piece aluminum casting individually machined and then monitored for perfect balance using computer-controlled gauges.

Kenwood KP-1022 turntable

A high-quality turntable Frequency Response the budget-minded audiophile

The KP-1022 features a low-mass, low-friction tone arm with adjustable anti-skating to maintain precise center-of-groove tracing for greater stereo separation and optimum tracking. A full-sized, 12-inch aluminum alloy die-cast platter is isolated from residual vibration by a belt-drive coupling between the synchronous motor shaft and the turntable. The result - accurate at all speeds rotation with unaudible wow and flutter (less than 0,07%, WRMS) and Signal-to-Noise ratio of better than 45 dB.

Add to the fine engineering the unit's handsome styling, and you have a stereo turntable you can well be pround to own, at a price that fits happily into your stereo budget.
